Power Supply
• Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet
that is being used by an electrical appliance that
is controlled by an inverter or a motor (such as a
refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or
air conditioner). Depending on the way in which
the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise
may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce
audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate
electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise lter
between this unit and the electrical outlet.
• To prevent malfunction and equipment failure,
always make sure to turn o the power on all your
equipment before you make any connections.
• Although the LCD and LEDs are switched o when
the unit is turned o, this does not mean that the
unit has been completely disconnected from the
source of power. If you need to turn o the power
completely, rst turn o the unit’s switch, then
unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For
this reason, the outlet into which you choose to
connect the power cord’s plug should be one that
is within easy reach and readily accessible.
• With the factory settings, the power will
automatically be switched o 240 minutes after
you stop playing or operating the unit. If you don’t
want the unit to turn o automatically, change the
“Auto O” (p. 19) setting to “OFF” as described on
“Making Settings in the Menus” (p. 15).
NOTE
The settings you were editing will be lost when the
unit is turned o. If you want to keep your settings,
you must save your settings before turning the
unit o.
Placement
• Using the unit near power ampliers (or other
equipment containing large power transformers)
may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change
the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away
from the source of interference.
• This device may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of
such receivers.
• Noise may be produced if wireless communications
devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the
vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when
receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing.
Should you experience such problems, you should
relocate such wireless devices so they are at a
greater distance from this unit, or switch them o.
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it
near devices that radiate heat, or otherwise subject
it to temperature extremes. Also, do not allow
lighting devices that normally are used while their
light source is very close to the unit (such as a piano
light), or powerful spotlights to shine upon the
same area of the unit for extended periods of time.
Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to
remain on this unit for long periods of time. Such
objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully aect
the nish.
• Do not allow objects to remain on top of the
keyboard or pedal board. This can be the cause
of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce
sound.
• Do not paste stickers, decals, or the like to this
instrument. Peeling such matter o the instrument
may damage the exterior nish.
• Do not put anything that contains water on this
unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes,
alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit.
Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit
using a dry, soft cloth.
Maintenance
• To clean the unit, use a dry, soft cloth; or one that
is slightly dampened. Try to wipe the entire surface
using an equal amount of strength, moving the
cloth along with the grain of the wood. Rubbing
too hard in the same area can damage the nish.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of
any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Repairs and Data
• Please be aware that all data contained in the
unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for
repairs. Important data should always be backed
up the USB ash drive, or written down on paper
(when possible). During repairs, due care is taken
to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases
(such as when circuitry related to memory itself is
out of order), we regret that it may not be possible
to restore the data, and Rodgers assumes no
liability concerning such loss of data.
Additional Precautions
• Please be aware that the contents of memory can
be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction,
or the improper operation of the unit. To protect
yourself against the risk of loosing important data,
we recommend that you periodically save a backup
copy of important data you have stored in the USB
ash drive.
• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore
the contents of data that was stored in the unit’s
memory or USB ash drive once it has been
lost. Rodgers Corporation assumes no liability
concerning such loss of data.
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the
unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can
lead to malfunctions.
• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.
• When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will
avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s
internal elements.
• A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit
during normal operation.
• To avoid disturbing others nearby, try to keep the
unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer
to use headphones, so you do not need to be
concerned about those around you.
• When you need to transport the unit, pack it in
shock-absorbent material. Transporting the unit
without doing so can cause it to become scratched
or damaged, and could lead to malfunction.
• Do not apply undue force to the music stand while
it is in use.
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not
use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting
to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the
sound level to be extremely low, or impossible
to hear. For information on cable specications,
contact the manufacturer of the cable.
• Due to the structural design of this instrument,
small pets or other animals could end up getting
trapped inside it. If such a situation is encountered,
you must immediately turn o the unit and
disconnect the power cord from the outlet. You
should then consult with the retailer from whom
the instrument was purchased, or contact Rodgers
Instruments Corporation, as listed on the “Notice to
Users” (p. 6).
• When opening or closing the lid, please be careful
not to get your ngers pinched between the
movable part and the panel.
• The explanations in this manual include
illustrations that depict what should typically be
shown by the display.
Note, however, that your unit may incorporate
a newer, enhanced version of the system (e.g.,
includes newer sounds), so what you actually see
in the display may not always match what appears
in the manual.
Before Using External Memories
Using External Memories
• Carefully insert the USB ash drive all the way
in—until it is rmly in place.
• Never touch the terminals of the USB ash drive.
Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.
• USB ash drive is constructed using precision
components; handle the cards carefully, paying
particular note to the following.
• To prevent damage to the cards from static
electricity, be sure to discharge any static
electricity from your own body before handling
the cards.
• Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact
with the contact portion of the cards.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong
shock or vibration.
• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed
vehicles, or other such locations.
• Do not allow cards to become wet.
• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
